On 2 July 2026, the provider responded to the actions set in the Welfare Requirement Notice. We found that the provider has strengthened safeguarding, attendance monitoring and staff oversight. Information is now shared more effectively across the staff team, attendance concerns are followed up promptly, and supervision has been enhanced through more frequent meetings, training and local authority support. The provider has also strengthened arrangements for gathering information about children's needs and any statutory or professional involvement to support effective monitoring and tailored care. We are satisfied the provider has met the safeguarding and welfare actions raised. The provider is still registered with Ofsted.

We aim to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is protected in the services we regulate. The Childcare Act 2006 and accompanying regulations set out our responsibilities to regulate childminders and childcare providers. This includes the enforcement powers we have in relation to those registered providers who do not comply with the requirements for registration.
